Product Description
Details

The bearer of a family tradition that harks back to the XIIth century, the Martí Fabra winery, the producer of the wine Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles, embodies the very essence of the Empordà region.

This Spanish red wine is made from a blend of 55% Grenache and 25% Carignan, sourced from vines 50 to 80 years of age, complemented with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Surrounded by olive trees and Mediterranean garrigue, the vines grow in slate soils and are constantly swept a harsh northern wind called Tramuntana.

Meticulously harvested and separately vinified, the red wine Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles 2022 was aged for 9 months in underground concrete diposits and for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Decant this red wine from L'Empordà 1 hour before drinking.

Pair this Crianza red wine with hearty meat recipes.

Appearance

The red wine Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles is deep purple with a garnet rim.

Nose

Intense, deeply Mediterranean aromas define this blend of Grenache and Carignan with Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of garrigue, wild berries, tree bark and spices, over a resounding earthy and mineral background.

Palate

This red wine from bodega Martí Fabra is vigorous and sturdy on the palate. Liquor-infused fruit, aromatic herbs, notes of dry earth and garrigue, some mineral suggestions and a dash of spices and balsam. The wine has a delicately warm core, nicely balanced by a great freshness and a well-balanced acidity. Ripe tannins and long, earthy finish.

Our personal opinion

Deep and powerful, the amazingly priced Martí Fabra Selecció Vinyes Velles 2022 will pair marvelously with game dishes and Rillettes.

Impressively complex wine. Dark, mineral and powerful, similar to Priorats but with a drier note.

powerful but velvety wine, of a deep red colour and long taste on the palate, in which ripe fruit scents prevail.
